I doubt they have a name yet, since they are a recent innovation. Basically they are a flute without a foot (the base of the glass).
They are immensely impractical and encourage over-drinking since you can't put them down on a surface.
The example you show are especially ghastly since they are colored: that color hides the beautiful color of the wine, and the sight of themillions of tiny Champagne bubbles racing up to oblivion on the surface.
I think they make an attractive table decoration, but wouldn't use them for Champagne.
Sorry

These are properly referred to as "A Bouquet of Toasting Flutes" and while the snotty wine guy has a couple of good points... these glasses are not meant for champagne TASTING (or testing or viewing) they are meant to be decorative for TOASTING only for special occasions... to appreciate the occasion, not to be confused with events where the champagne IS the occasion :)
They don't encourage overdrinking because you're not supposed to serve from them... only use them for the toast... like the Bride and Groom's table at a wedding or the parents and godparents leading the toast at a christening. After the toasts are over, you're supposed to replace them into the bucket (where they were stored, in ice, already poured for up to 30 minutes before the toast) and servers will be pouring into regular stemware for the actual drinking of champagne, especially if you're drinking while consuming food.

Go visit a restaurant equipment supply company, found in the phone book. Personally I've never heard of these, but there are hundreds of types of glasses and they have catalogs of all brands and styles. Good luck

Reminds me of the person on Safari in Africa while he meets a witch general practitioner and saves his lifestyles through taking pictures a marauding lion that was once approximately to assault him. The witch general practitioner says "Thank you. For saving my lifestyles I will furnish you one want." As the man was once now not peculiarly good endowed he replies "I want my penis would achieve the bottom." The witch general practitioner wave his fingers round pronouncing "Your want is granted." Just then the man's legs fell off! Good comic story incidentally.

Flutes they are on a stem.
Champagne is normally drunk from a long flute stemmed glass or a champage bowl glass also on a stem
